Angel Reese says she once had HBCU dreams but attended a Power 5 school to further her basketball career. That decision worked out, but she still has love for her favorite HBCU.
In a video she posted to Instagram, the Randallstown, Maryland native says Howard University, just down the road, would have been her HBCU choice. Reese started her college career at the University of Maryland, then transferred to Louisiana State University, where she won a national championship and graduated in 2023.
